Secondary automatic gain control loops for direct conversion CDMA receivers

   
   

A communications device includes a frequency conversion circuit and a control circuit. An antenna receives a radio signal at a first frequency and converts it into a radio frequency (RF) signal of the first frequency. The frequency conversion circuit is associated with the antenna and configured to convert the RF signal into a first signal component and a second signal component. The first and second signal components occupy a baseband. The control circuit has first ports connected to the frequency conversion circuit to receive the first and second signal components and second ports connected to a processor circuit to output amplified first and second signal components, and separate channels for the first and second signal components existing between the first and second ports. Each channel comprises an amplifier and a feedback loop configured to control the amplifier as a function of a reference signal and a control signal derived from the RF signal. The communications device may be a cellular phone comprising a direct conversion module.
